1. Upon acceptance into the program, the Commission will charge the Customer’s designated VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit card a prepaid beginning balance of $25.00 for each transponder requested. This amount will be credited to the Customers new E-ZPass account and will be available to pay tolls and other fees and charges. The Customer may request a higher initial balance, as indicated on the application.

2. When the Customer’s account balance drops below a cumulative balance of $10.00 per transponder, the account will be replenished with a charge to the Customer’s designated credit card the amount of: a) the average monthly tolls incurred over the past 90 days; or b) the amount needed to return the account balance to $25.00 per transponder, whichever is greater.

A $25.00 fee may be assessed if the Customer’s VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express card is declined when the Commission attempts to replenish the account or if a dispute of the replenishment charge is filed with the credit card company. In this case, the Customer’s account will be immediately suspended until new data is furnished to the Commission. The Commission shall have the option to cancel and close the account at any time.
